Modern Nicotine Alternatives

Nicotine pouches are a type of oral smokeless product offering a device-free alternative to adults who smoke

The world of smoke-free alternative nicotine products for adults who use cigarettes and/or nicotine containing products, can feel like a bustling marketplace. Two contenders often find themselves at the forefront of this conversation: vaping and nicotine pouches.  

Nicotine Pouches

Nicotine pouches are a type of oral smokeless product offering a device-free alternative to adults who smoke. ZYN, the World’s No, 1 nicotine pouch brand*, is tobacco-free and contains nicotine extracted from tobacco leaves. ZYN pouches are small and can be enjoyed while on the move without smoke, vapour, or cigarette smoke smell. ZYN offers a range of flavours and nicotine strengths, allowing users to personalise their nicotine experience.  

*PMI reported global shipment volumes and in-market sales estimates of nicotine pouch units, from July 2023 to June 2024.

Vaping/Vapes

Vapes, or electronic cigarettes as they are also known, are also a popular smoke-free category of products without tobacco amoungst adult nicotine users. The e-liquid in vapes usually contains nicotine, flavourings, and a base of propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerine. Vaping is the term typically used to describe inhaling an aerosol (vapour) from an e-cigarette.
